My fathers contact photo shows up on my account in settings.

For the last couple of weeks, I have been having this problem where my dad's memoji shows up as my apple id image. I had this problem on both my MacBook and iPhone but managed to fix it on my iPhone. I am not sure how to fix this on my MacBook.

MacBook Air, macOS 13.5
